Computer technician at a university.

Perhaps they don't want something thats semi derelict.

Why pay the same to have less drive, less garden,

So you don't have to waste your time gardening.

But it's nice to be further away from the next person.

Not when they are completely invisible/inaudible.

I can go into my garden and have my own outside space. Not possible
with
a flat.

You can concrete the outside if you wish.

You can with a well designed non house too.

and neighbours on top of you aswell as to the side?

The best designs make them completely invisible.

And inaudible?

Yep.

. Never seen one that good.

I hadn't either until my dad moved into
a very well designed retirement village.

Well most don't live in places like that.

I did in both of the flats I rented before building the house.
The only time I heard any of the neighbours was when the
bikies in the flat below me ended up throwing full bottles
of beer against the brick wall during a ****up. I just rolled
over and went back to sleep.

I've even seen a flat where the ceiling was as thin as one in a normal
house, I could hear the words being spoken by the people upstairs!

Never seen that here.

Still not nice living in a shared building.

Worked fine when I chose to rent a flat for a few years.

I assume you prefer your own house.

Yep, that's why I built it.

You were happy with the ****ty flat but prefer a house?
